Marzipan Steamroller is a powerful pastry stout with a unique twist. The base is robust, with 30% rye and 15% spelt malts, giving it a texture that's both velvety and slightly sticky. We found that the best marzipan flavor comes from using dried cherry and apricot pits. For a deeper, layered taste, we played with the intense bitterness of extra dark espresso beans and the sweetness of various types of honey to achieve the perfect balance. This time, we added the honey later to make sure the flavors don’t get lost during fermentation. European wildflower honey adds a subtle yet intriguing floral note, while almond honey brings a dark, nutty, and almost savory flavor.

Can day 13 of the advent beer calender that I curated for Loz. Consumed sat in Frank, Wohnmobilstellplatz Bodenmais, Saturday 27th December 2025 after a 16km Loop hike today from Bodenmais to Charmer Hütte, we had a cheese board, meats, crackers etc in Frank tonight, listening to Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show on 6Music. Pours black with a tan coloured head. Yes this is very sweet. Thick in the mouth, oily, chocolate and sweet roasty bitterness, the sweetness is flooding through every time. Okay there is a little tanginess but it's so sweet, so ridiculously sweet, there's lactose it's creamy. Okay I think that moving forward I am really going to have to vet these big Impy' stouts very carefully, there is nothing wrong with this but I cannot finish it, really think that I am not the target audience.

Can at home. Jet black, no head. Big honey and maple syrup, loads of coffee and vague touches of marzipan in flavor and taste, quite sweet, syrupy, obviously thick and oily

Thuis uit een blik. Zwart bier met een mooie dikke lichtbruine schuimkraag, prachtig. Zoet aroma, caramel, chocolade, amandel en wat scherpere koffie. Zeer volle romige smaak. Maar zacht met chocolade, honing, spijsachtige smaak (bijna Sinterklaas). Je zou dit bier ook als een op zichzelf staand dessert kunnen serveren. Heerlijk, maar wel machtig.

Has a nice little touch of spice that at least gives it some perception of dryness on top of the massive sweetness. The cherries stand out to make this a nice winter sipper. Guild box
